IvyKids Sunday featuring Shadra Strickland: HERE COMES THE BAND
About this Event
The game is tied at seven.
A hush falls over the stands.
Get up and stand up, everybody!
Here comes the band!
Everyone has their favorite part of a football game, but at a historically Black college or university, halftime is game time when the band takes the field. HERE COMES THE BAND is a glorious celebration of the tradition and pageantry of an HBCU band. Join the author for a storytime & book signing on the patio at The Ivy Bookshop!
Order HERE COMES THE BAND here!
